Is anyone in Bournemouth due to get 100Mb in the home?

I've just read this report:

My issue with this, as always, is the roll-out strategy which usually leaves towns like Hastings way behind due to it's under-investment and low economic output.

If it's costing £341 per head, it'll be interesting to see how long it takes them to make their money back...

Not knowing the complete ins-and-outs of all this but surely all fibre means is that data shifts even faster and that bandwidth is still bandwidth and as a model the economics don't change (well, only to recoup the fibre investment costs).

So, in the home, we all get super speeds but no more downloadable bandwidth and since the ISP's rely on 'low use' users to make a profit and services like BBC iPlayer and ITV catchup pushing bandwidth consumption up, will this mean that prices are set to rise?
